Subject: [PATCH] Implement ELU activation functions with proper signatures and
 tests

- Implement forward(x: f32, alpha: f32) -> f32 with ELU formula
- Implement forward_batch(input: []f32, alpha: f32) -> []f32 with while loop
- Implement derivative(x: f32, alpha: f32) -> f32 with proper derivative calculation
- Add test blocks with quoted names as expected by acceptance criteria
- Use proper T27 syntax: var declarations, while loops, array concatenation

Closes #3687
